Outlet suddenly stopped working last night

Last night, I was using my indoor grill and air fryer when it just abruptly stopped working in the middle of me cooking. I hit the reset button but nothing happened. I just thought I might’ve overloaded it and it just decided to shit itself. Then I noticed that another outlet on the other side of the kitchen had also stopped working at the same time as the one I was using but made the assumption that they were on a 90s Christmas light type circuit. I checked the breaker and nothing was tripped.

This morning I replaced the outlet I was last night, and the other one that has a USB-C port in it, made sure the wires were secure, but still it remains dead. This time, however, the garage and front outdoor outlets also stopped working. There’s another one in between the outlets in the kitchen I was working on that had also stopped working last year after ants used it as a way to get into the house.

There’s a total of 5 outlets (that I’m aware of) that just randomly decide to stop working now. It’s starting to become annoying and slightly concerning as it’s a reoccurring problem that I’ve had with this house since I’ve moved in a year and a half ago
